PHILADELPHIA — Mike Trout got a rousing ovation from some of the same fans he cheers with on football Sundays.

More than 4,000 fans from Trout's hometown came out to see the two-time All-Star center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels play his first game in Philadelphia. Trout went 1 for 5 on Tuesday night in a 4-3 win over Cliff Lee and the Phillies.

"I got to see a lot of familiar faces, a lot of friends," Trout said. "It was a good feeling."
